Troubleshooting

Shoes feel tight or uncomfortable

Wear the shoes with thicker socks for a short period to allow them to stretch slightly. Ensure the ankle strap is adjusted for comfort, not overtightness.

Gently wipe the affected area with a damp cloth. For tougher marks, use a mild soap solution and a soft cloth, then wipe clean with a fresh damp cloth.
